Edit: My download speed issues have nothing to do with the NUC 13 rugged. It seems that the media converter doesn't like converting from 10 Gbit down to 2.5 Gbit.

When my fiber line went down a few months ago, I just USB tethered my pixel 6a which worked like a charm. I'd rather invest in something like that than a cellular modem.

Then I haven't had an issue again since 4 days when I deactivated ASPM.
Will update now OPNsense and observe further.

You can get the speedtest-cli version. I had good results with it in the past.

I have observed the same issue as you described now 3 times (igc0) so likely it is a general issue. Suddenly weird behavior, plugging the cable in/out resolves it. I disabled ASPM and will keep observing.

Also still I seem not be able to get out consistently more than 300-500 Mbps download with speedtest-cli (which is weird I was able to get 8gbps before with my other machine and I'm on a 10 Gbps line. iperf does go to 2.5 Gpbs but something doesn't seem quite right.

Also I'm getting a ton of these filling up the log (might be unrelated though):

Code Select Expand


Firmware Error (ACPI): Could not resolve symbol [\134_SB.PC00.LPCB.ITE8.GETT], AE_NOT_FOUND (20221020/psargs-503)
ACPI Error: Aborting method \134_TZ.TZ00._TMP due to previous error (AE_NOT_FOUND) (20221020/psparse-689)


Otherwise I couldn't see anything suspicious in the logs yet.

If nothing helps I may try to install proxmox on it and run opnsense inside it.
Linux seems to be more reliable regarding modern hardware and driver support.

I use 0039. I have 1 vlan.

I think I had a similar issue like you mentioned yesterday but I also recently activated CRC/TSO/LRO hardware offloading so this could be related. I switched it off again and will observe further.

My Asus NUC 13 rugged is now running well since > 4 days.

So I'd dare to say that there isn't a general issue with NUC 13 rugged.

Edit: There seem to be NUC13 rugged stability / performance issues. https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=42296.0

I used to give it 4 which was well oversized.

Afaik most processes in OPNsense are executed only on a single core anyway only so even only 1 could be sufficient.

Make sure to assign it enough RAM for what you intend to do with it.

I am currently testing the Asus NUC 13 rugged x7425E with 16 GB RAM. It is a well balanced device made for 24/7 operations that is relatively cheap (~350-400$ with RAM).

So far it has been working well since a day and I expect it to continue ;-)

Interesting thread, I just setup my NUC 13 rugged today. So far it's running fine.

The only weirdness I run into so far is that when I run speedtest on a machine download seems to be around 300-500 mbps where as upload is approaching easily 2300 mbps.

Have you experienced something similar. Any idea what might cause this.

Edit:
iperf tests are fine (2.3 gbps) so the bad speedtest results might be an ookla or ISP issue. Otherwise everything is still running smooth here.

Here it is:

Feel invited to add and comment to my attempt of feature request.

Found it: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=118111

Unfortunately it looks like it's stalled. It came to my attention by the ticket state change by Mark Linimon last week.

Thanks!

One of those, good to know tidbits.

Yeah, it can cost you quite some headache when it hits you for the first time. After you know it you can resolve in due time. Behind the scenes though it seems to remain a bit messy since opnsense retains the settings but does not give you the means to change it from the UI. Some of the settings cause issues.

IIRC there is ongoing or even completed work in the FreeBSD base system. I just can't find the reference right now.

Thanks. It could help to mention that if you can find it again.

It's been discussed before. Search the forum for ethname.
Example: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=27023.msg160714#msg160714
Short of it, is a shortcoming of the underlying OS. Ethname is a tool that could be used as a workaround.
If you want it considered to be included in base and integrate as part of the core, you might want to raise a suggestion in github.

Thanks, didn't know. I will do that laters.
